Why don't many people like this title? It's a great title! (it's a genius title!!)

Nobody likes the amount of puns 4Kids keeps dishing out. This title makes sense, but it's a little too corny for my tastes. How I wish that they simply translate episodes like they did back in the first portion of Kanto. :\

Correct, for example "Showdown in Pewter City" "The Challange of The Samurai" "Water Flowers of Cerulean City", simple but yet effective titles, they're much more striking to the common viewer :P

This episode and "A Different Kind Of Misty" aren't really that far appart, it's not like the writers to have someone appear in an episode again after such a short time.
Like Duplica was in the 1st series and then appeared again in the 4th (Johto Champions).

I think the pun titles are funny, there are some titles which I don't understand like "I Feel Skitty!" what does it mean?
But titles like "Let Bagons Be Bagons" and "What You Seed Is What You Get" are really creative I think.

I Feel Skitty! can either be "I Feel Giddy" or "I Feel Pretty." A letter change or two in those particular episodes you mentioned are far from creative. o_o Replace the A's with Y's in the Bagon title and remove the D in Seed and you've got the exact meaning. Not exactly what I'd call creative. :\

I don't see why people need to review an episode before they actually see it. After all that's what this thread is for isn't it? Why are some people going to the episode pictures and saying "This episode was great" in this and many other threads. If you haven't seen the episode yet, I don't know why you're posting comments based on episode pictures and summaries. It gets annoying.

All this fuss about Jessie's name is kinda weird to me, because all this time I thought Jessie's real full name was Jessica. I heard that named used by James in "Pokemon Shipwreck", and other times, too. Also, in the beggining of that same episode, when Officer Jenny was on that boat, she was saying a goodbye to, I believe, "Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessica, and James".

The trainers' choice was kinda weird, too. If you were only going by type, you could say Taillow was as good a choice as Torkoal.

That guy that led the cheering squad was funny, especially when he quickly said "aromatherapy", and "helping hand" to keep reviving Seviper. But when he ran away after his scheme was ruined, I didn't expect everyone to let him go without returning the money.

Also liked the return of Thatcher and his Plusle and Minun, although it was rather quick.

By the way, WaterMaster#1, I noticed the "Who's that Pokemon?" thing, too. If they're going to start that up again, they should make them new.

What really ticks me off about this episode, even though it was good in so many ways (especially James beating Brock!!!), is when I compare the cheering teacher to Anthony from "You Said a Mouthful". After thinking about the episode for the last 24 hours (Chicago runs new episodes on Sundays), I still can't get what on earth the guy was doing that was so wrong. I mean, sure, Seviper kept getting revived more often than it should have (I'm not getting into Cacnea, since she only needed one revive), but don't trainers do something similar with potions? Seviper wasn't even technically knocked out until the very end, when the scheme was uncovered. I just don't get what it was that was so wrong. Sure, Pikachu could have used the boost too, and then it would have been fair, but what's so wrong about getting in some added experience?

Of COURSE what Sheridan was doing was wrong. People are expecting to battle just ONE Pokemon, not FIVE. -_- And that's exactly what was going on.

sounds better. Not that I can complain, I'm just taking your word for it.

Since I had to miss this episode, I just finished reading the episode guide and looking at the pics. Looks like I didn't miss anything that interesting except May with her ribbon, Plusle & Minun, Roselia & Vileplume, and Max and TR appearing to have pretty good roles. I'm probably wrong though.

What did Jessie and James say their names were? (Assuming that they gave fake names in the dub too.)
